The Food & Beverage Issue






It is officially Fall in Lehi & Saratoga Springs! With that brings cooler weather, cozy sweatshirts, snuggly blankets, quiet evenings sitting by the fire, and our personal favorite–comfort food! Welcome to the Food and Drink Edition!
We’re not exaggerating when we say that we are publishers and parents first, and foodies a close second. So when autumn weather starts knocking on the door, we’re sure to answer by com forting our bellies with the best food and drink that our great community has to offer. From pumpkin spiced flavored everything, to hot bowls of soups, pastas and plates of hearty bread and desserts, the joys of eating are year round but most definitely amplified in the fall and winter months.
Come along with us as we food crawl our way through Lehi’s greatest eating pit stops–some new and some that have been around for generations, like Lehi Bakery and their infamous square donuts. We also pay homage to some homemade, tried and true holiday recipes that you can’t go without this season.
In addition, we kick off giving season by introducing you to Tabitha’s Way–a local, nonprofit food bank dedicated to providing food assistance to Utah families. Because we all deserve full and happy bellies, as well as the opportunity to serve our neighbors.
Food is the universal language, the common ground we all have to gather together, serve together, laugh and cry together, and eat together. We hope you enjoy reading this delicious edition of Lehi City Lifestyle, with your favorite drink in hand.
With Love,

Proverbs 3:5-6
How often should I wash my hair?
This totally depends on how much oil you produce. Everyone will be different! We recommend going as long as possible. If you currently go 2 days, try 3. If you go 5 days, try 6. Give your scalp a month or so to adjust, and then try adding another day. You’ll know when you reach your limit.
How do I wash my hair?
1. Apply your shampoo throughout your entire scalp. Scrub vigorously, with your finger tips (not nails).
2. Run the shampoo gently down through the ends, no need to scrub; the cuticle layer is fragile and this creates unnecessary roughness. Rinse well.
3. Apply your conditioner mid shaft to ends, clip up and keep as long as possible before rinsing. Avoid conditioner on your roots as it will weigh your hair down and make your scalp greasy faster.
4. Rinse well preferable with cool water.

How can I push wash day longer?
Dry shampoo! Use it once or twice a week, but don’t over do it. Use when your hair starts looking greasy and flat. Tip: On wash day, wear a hat or style your hair in a pony, braid or cute bun. Also, wear it up at night to help your style last.
What shampoo/conditioner should I use?
It depends on your hair type, but look for shampoo and conditioner without parabens or sulfates — they can irritate skin and dry out your hair. Our personal favorite is Kevin Murphy’s Hydrate Wash and Rinse!
What if I have dandruff?
There is a big misconception with dandruff. Dandruff is a condition that a person is born with. It’s a sticky, yellow like substance that smells like sulfur. There is a very small percent of the population that actually has it. Most people have “dry scalp”. Using a dandruff shampoo can actually be a negative, if you don’t need it. Try using a shampoo for hydration, don’t wash as often, and if it gets really bad, try a scalp serum specific for dry scalp.
How many washes should I do?
It depends how often you wash your hair. If you wash every 1-2 days (not that we condone this…lol) only wash your hair 1x or you’ll dry it out. If you wash every 3 days or more, it’s best to wash your hair 2x, to make it as clean as possible so you can hopefully push it more days.
Explain the benefits of a deep conditioner?
Deep conditioners provide 1 of 2 things: They can either add hydration or protein, depending on which one you choose. Protein is great for very damaged hair, to help rebuild the bonds. However, it can also make your hair brittle if you don’t actually need that and/or you use it too often. A hydrating mask is great if you feel your hair is dry, but don’t over do it. Too much hydration can get heavy and weigh your hair down. I suggest using a deep conditioner once every 4 washes or so should be enough to get the results you need.
Don’t want to wash it yourself?

Temporary Food Assistance Provided by the Community
Unexpected tough times that lead to food insecurity can occur to anyone, including us and our hardworking neighbors. Tabitha’s Way aims to provide temporary food insecurity alleviation to get people back on their feet, encouraging communities to take ownership of the problem of hunger. Tabitha’s Way was started 15 years ago in Spanish Fork by Wendy and Jody Osborne when Wendy noticed a need for a community food and clothing pantry, and has since expanded to Saratoga Springs and Pleasant Grove in partnership with
Mike Carter and Al Switzler. Tabitha’s Way is named in honor of Tabitha from the bible (Acts 9:36-41), who was known for doing good acts, such as providing food and making clothing for her community.
“‘Tabitha’s Way’ is a metaphor reminding us of the opportunity and responsibility to serve our community with love, just as Tabitha served hers.” The mission of Tabitha’s Way is to provide temporary food assistance, recommend resources for self-reliance through partnerships with other businesses, including heat and rental assistance, and help neighbors help neighbors.
Tabitha’s Way is in need of volunteers, especially in the West Lehi, Saratoga Springs, and Eagle Mountain area. Morning shift volunteers get everything ready for the day by stocking the pantry, cleaning and organizing. Afternoon and evening shifts volunteers work in the pantry, translating Spanish, showing a new client how to shop, distributing frozen food and produce, helping with carts, and stocking throughout the day.
Kara Smith, a representative for Tabitha’s Way, said, “Some volunteers have been with us since we opened, and many come the same day and time every week. It's just like a little family here, and we love interacting with the clients and hearing the success stories of how they are able to get back on their feet with our help.” The most impactful ways to help with Tabitha’s Way are to interact with the clients, and run food drives. “We always need food drives and monetary donations to keep us going.”
Kara said, “A lot of these families, they just need to get back on their feet. Maybe they had a car accident or a sick kid and need to pay off their hospital bills, or they’re a single parent going through a divorce and just can't afford to go grocery shopping right now. With Tabitha’s Way, they can put that money towards something else and get back on their feet. Most clients will come about four or six times, and they're able to stop coming out.” Get involved with Tabitha’s Way at TabithasWay.org and see the impact in real time.

Lehi Bakery is Embracing the Past and Building for the Future
ARTICLE BY ASHLEY PETERSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESSICA GILBERT
Lehi Bakery was founded in 1969 by Arden Tuckett. His son, Brent, worked at the bakery growing up, and he and his wife Valerie, took it over in 1980. Originally, Lehi Bakery was primarily a bread
“If you have something really good, you want to share that with as many people as possible.”
shop, but it gradually became more of a doughnut shop. In 1989, Brent and Valerie came across a little square doughnut cutter at a yard sale. They started making square doughnuts for fun, and they just kept selling. Eventually, they changed the awning to say ‘Home of the Square doughnuts.’ Today, Lehi Bakery sells over a million square doughnuts a year.
In 2018, after decades of early mornings, Brent and Valerie wanted to retire, and David and Danielle Doty jumped on the opportunity to buy the bakery they loved visiting with their family. Their goals were to keep the community and family values while expanding Lehi Bakery’s reach, because they believe in the products and want to grow Lehi Bakery’s great reputation. David said, “It was a big change. I went from 9 to 5 in an office to going in at midnight and coming home at 9 a.m., covered in flour and oil.”
The Dotys are growing Lehi Bakery’s future by expanding the original location and adding new ones. “It used to be that if you didn’t show up by 10 a.m., the doughnuts were probably sold out. So we added fryers, mixers, and machines to help us process faster.”
The extra equipment meant the Dotys ran into a space issue with their 100-year-old, 2,000-squarefoot bakery. In 2023, they finished construction on an expansion that brought the bakery to 7,200 feet, and in 2024, they added a drive-through location in Saratoga Springs. Soon, the Dotys are opening Lehi Bakeries in Highland, Spanish Fork, and Heber. David says they’ve pursued expansion for two reasons: “One, expansion has let us grow our employees into new roles, rather than have them leave when they have nowhere to grow. Two, if you have something really good, you want to share that with as many people as
possible.” It’s important to the Dotys to expand in a high quality way. “We’re doing everything in our power to maintain and improve as we expand—better customer experience, better product consistency, better menus, great staff. In Highland, we’re launching from-scratch all-natural doughnuts. I think they’ll rival any in the country.”
Lehi Bakery has won the best in state bakery award for the last two years. The Dotys’ goal for Lehi Bakery is to stay in the conversation for the best doughnut shop in the country, and to not get complacent just because they’re winning awards and getting great feedback from the community. They want to push the envelope and be the best of the best. Their focus on serving the community, evidenced by serving doughnuts at the Lehi Rodeo, delivering free doughnut carts to elementary schools, bakery tours, and custom stickers and coloring pages they stock in the bakery for kids, shows their commitment to remaining true to the iconic 56-year-old institution.
Under the ownership of David and Danielle Doty, Lehi Bakery is continuing its legacy, building for the future while embracing the past. With a rich history in family-owned business and community-focused values, Lehi Bakery’s future is guaranteed to be sweet. David said, “It has just been the joy of a lifetime. I’ve loved every minute of it.”

ARTICLE BY ANGELA BROOCKERD
PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES
There’s something deeply satisfying about a well-made sandwich—especially when it comes together with minimal effort but delivers big on flavor. As the season changes and appetites grow heartier, fall is the perfect time to get creative with ingredients tucked between slices of crusty bread or buttery rolls. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your lunch routine, enjoy comforting flavors and bold textures, or impress guests with a no-fuss meal, these easy-to-make sandwiches strike the perfect balance between simple and sensational.
INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp butter (for toasting)
• 2 ½ tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp horseradish sauce
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• Arugula
• Cherry tomato
• Caramelized onions
INSTRUCTIONS
Toast the bread. Butter one side of each slice and toast in a skillet until golden. Heat roast beef briefly in a pan. To make the spread, mix mayo, horseradish sauce, and Dijon.

Lightly butter the inside of the bun and toast in a skillet or oven until golden brown. Spread a layer of garlic aioli on the bottom bun. Add the sliced grilled chicken breast. Place the pepper jack cheese over the hot chicken to slightly melt it. Layer on the crispy bacon slices. Add halved cherry tomatoes and a small handful of arugula. Spread the jam on the top bun. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
• 3 oz goat cheese
• Fresh arugula
• ¼ cup caramelized onions
• 1 pear, thinly sliced

WITH RENVATE LLC, CUSTOMERS KNOW THEY'LL RECEIVE CONSISTENT, HIGH-QUALITY RESULTS
It’s about going just a little bit further in the smaller details.
Christian, the owner of Renvate LLC, is a Utah County native making a name for himself in the flooring business through his meticulous attention to detail. Flooring wasn’t where he started, though—his first steps into the home improvement world were in landscaping.
While Christian was taking on a large landscaping project at an apartment complex, a friend asked for help with flooring in one of the buildings. Christian volunteered, and something immediately clicked. He loved the work. For a few months, he and his friend partnered on projects before Christian branched out on his own to launch Renvate. Today, his company specializes in luxury vinyl planking (LVP), tile, laminate, and carpet installation.
In just three and a half years, Renvate has grown quickly and earned a solid reputation in construction and home improvement. Christian’s philosophy is simple: get the job done right the first time by focusing on the details others overlook. “It’s about going just a little bit further in the smaller details,” he explains. “Like using tape before caulking doors—it's so simple, but a lot of people would just put caulk on the door and then just kind of run through it with their finger,” which can leave noticeably messy lines. He continues, “I think that's something that sets us apart … just looking at the details, making sure it's perfect.” But if, for some reason, the customer isn’t happy, he says, “We go back in and fix it until we make it right.”
To achieve this mission of perfection, Christian has carefully assembled an already skilled crew of flooring experts and then personally trained them to focus on those fine details he values most. From precise corners to crisp caulk lines, the Renvate team takes extra
time to ensure each project looks polished. Because Christian keeps all jobs within his company of trained professionals instead of outsourcing to outside labor, customers know they’ll receive consistent, high-quality results on every job.
One of Renvate’s biggest milestones came when Stanley Contracting invited Christian and his team to install flooring for The Utah Valley Parade of Homes showcase. The crew installed hardwood-style LVP, tile, carpet, and even custom carpet tiles for a podcast room, along with shower backsplashes. Their craftsmanship impressed another builder in the Parade of Homes, who quickly hired Renvate for a second project, where the team earned a plaque in recognition of their work, further solidifying their reputation in the industry.
Renvate’s skill has also caught the eye of creators and influencers across social media platforms, including the YouTube channel Hunters of Happiness, who trusted Christian to bring their design visions to life.
Recently, the Renvate crew traveled to Arizona to take on a demanding flooring job aboard a luxury houseboat. With timelines unexpectedly cut short, the job turned into an all-hands-on-deck situation. The team worked around the clock to finish on schedule, proving once again that excellence and determination are at the heart of what they do.
From upscale commercial projects to cozy family homes, Renvate’s craftsmanship transforms spaces into beautiful, functional places to live, work, and relax. For Christian, the reward comes from seeing his clients’ reactions when they notice the difference those little details make. His commitment to precision, consistency, and customer trust sets Renvate apart.
Customers know they’ll receive consistent, high-quality results on every job. “ ”

Halloween is typically filled to the brim with salt, sugar and carbs. It can be hard to stay on the nutrition wagon during spooky season, but there are plenty of fun ways to add a festive spin to favorite healthy dishes.
With luck finding a melon or watermelon at the store, simply carve it like a jack-o-lantern and make the mouth large enough to have other sliced fruit emerging, such as cut pineapple, sliced grapes and apple chunks. Along the side, peel mini oranges and add a green stem to mimic pumpkins.
These fan favorite boards can easily be kept healthy with some additions. Make any treat spooky with edible eyeballs. Adding them to a small snack such as mini bell peppers or grapes and strawberries is a fun way to stay on theme without sacrificing a healthy streak. Eyeball salami rolls also can be added, starting first with a green olive in the center, surrounded by a roll of mozzarella cheese and then surrounded by salami or even prosciutto.
This fall staple easily can be incorporated into a fall gathering or Halloween night by carving jacko-lantern faces in orange peppers, and resuming a favorite recipe from there. Serving bread on the side? Use a skull or pumpkin shaped cookie cutter to re-shape it.
Hummus and pitas can be made scary in no time. Use a ghost shaped cookie cutter to shape pita bread, lightly toast and serve with red pepper hummus, which is usually orange in color.
The easiest bet for a quick and healthy Halloween treat? You can’t go wrong with a veggie tray shaped like a jack-o-lantern. Use baby carrots as the base, and cucumber or celery to shape the mouth and stem. The eyes? Two round bowls of veggie dip.
